Additional notes:
Although somtimes associated with the 'Christian Metal' scene, mostly because of the association of Ian Arkley in Seventh Angel; My Silent Wake are expressedly not a Christian band. Some lyrical themes deal with ideas of faith and loss of faith, but in deeply personal ways, and more universally, rather than obivously judeo/christian religous themes.
Within the band there are members with different beliefs, including atheistic, and later lyrical themes reflect this diversity.
